2. One-to-one drive
Some people talk of direct
drive, but really mean geared
drive. Make sure you know the
difference. Compared with
compressors using small, high
speed gear-driven airends, oneto-one provides optimum use of
power.

The ASD series is a range of compressors where the drive motor and the airend
are designed to operate at the same low speed. This feature makes possible
direct coupling of the drive and compression units via a maintenance-free
coupling, consequently avoiding the transmission losses associated with gear
driven units. The low speed operation is possible with generously sized airends
that are highly efficient and matched to the individual performances and
pressures required. One-to-one drive reduces the number of
components needed in comparison with gear drive, significantly
increasing reliability and service life.

The quiet radial fan and
directly coupled components reduce noise at
source. Performance
is further enhanced
by a new cooling system that features separate cooling air flow paths
to allow almost hermetic silencing without influencing cooling efficiency. Normal conversation can
take place right next to the running compressor.
ASD
A specific drive power can be used to turn a smaller airend at high speed or a
larger airend at slow speed. Larger, low speed airends are more efficient, delivering
more compressed air for the same drive power. That is why KAESER developed
airends especially for the ASD series that are precisely matched to the individual
drive power and motor speed of each machine in the range. The slightly higher cost
of the larger airend is quickly recovered by the energy saved during operation.

The advantage of this drive is not just the elimination of transmission losses.
The motor and airend are joined by the coupling and its housing to form a compact
and durable unit that, apart from greasing of the motor bearings, requires no regular
maintenance. Should the coupling ever need to be replaced it takes just a few minutes without any disassembly of the unit; the opening in the coupling housing is
more than large enough to replace the two coupling sections. The airends in ASD
units turn at only 3000 rpm lower speed means increased efficiency and durability
with reduced compressed air costs.
Quiet and efficient the most important features of a radial fan. Low peripheral speed means low noise. Power consumption is up to 50 percent lower than a
comparable axial fan. A further advantage is the resulting high residual thrust that
allows the use of exhaust ducting with a pressure drop of up to 60 Pa (ASD 57,
40 Pa) without the need for an additional extractor fan.

In ASD units the cooling fluid is initially separated from the compressed air by
centrifugal force in the separator tank. Only minimum fluid remains to be removed
by the high-capacity, deep-bed filter in the separator cartridge. These two factors
double the operational life of the cartridge compared with conventional systems and
ensure minimum aerosol content in the compressed air delivery (less than 1 mg per
cubic metre). The improved air quality eases the burden on the downstream air
treatment components. The optional filter pressure drop monitoring set further
enhances efficient operation.
Easy maintenance
SIGMA CONTROL
KAESER units are filled as standard with the well proven SIGMA FLUID MOL
coolant. However, upon request this can be substituted with synthetic SIGMA FLUID
which is particularly suitable for intensively used equipment, as it allows an extended
service interval of over 6000 operating hours. Nevertheless, as a preventative protection measure for your equipment, we strongly recommend that a fluid analysis be
carried out after 6000 operating hours due to the varied nature of environmental and
intake conditions. The combination of SIGMA FLUID and a specially developed glass
fibre fluid filter with enhanced contamination absorption capability not only reduces
service costs but also increases reliability.
All models feature high quality, durable components that are positioned logically and contribute to the outstanding performance and reliability of these compressor packages. Component accessibility is made simple through wide opening doors,
easy lift off panels and a sensible design that ensures unrivalled ease of maintenance. The rear and left-hand side of ASD units can be positioned close to a wall
for space-saving. The illustration shows the air inlet filter element being changed.

In addition to improved cooling efficiency, the system offers further advantages. The inside of the cabinet remains clean because surrounding air is drawn
through the cooler into the cooler box and then exhausted directly upward out of the
machine. Dirt particles in the cooling air collect mainly on the air intake side of the
cooler, on ASD machines that means outside the cabinet. Clogging of the cooler is
easily noticed and quickly cleaned off without any dismantling work. Operational
reliability is improved and maintenance work significantly reduced.
